Lemon and Rosemary Shortbread <\/strong><\/p>\n

2 cups plain flour<\/p>\n

1\/4 tsp salt<\/p>\n

1-1\/2 tsp lemon zest<\/p>\n

1 tsp minced fresh rosemary<\/p>\n

1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature<\/p>\n

3\/4 cup icing sugar<\/p>\n

1 tsp vanilla extract<\/p>\n

1 tsp fresh lemon juice<\/p>\n

Preheat oven 160C. In a small bowl, whisk the flour, salt, lemon zest and rosemary together, set aside. In a food mixer, beat the butter and icing sugar together until smooth and creamy, about 3 mins. [ NOT HIGH SPEED TO START ]. Beat in the vanilla extract and lemon juice. Slowly add in the flour mixture and mix until just combined. Form the soft dough into a disk shape and wrap in cling film. Chill for at least 1 hour or until firm in the fridge. Prepare and line baking trays.<\/p>\n

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1\/4 inch thick. Cut dough into squares, rounds, or shape of your choice using lightly floured cookie cutters. Re-roll until all the dough has been used. Place shortbread on the prepared baking trays and bake for about 10-12 mins, or until cookies are lightly browned around the edges. Sprinkle with caster sugar while still warm, remove to wire racks to cool. Be careful handling while still warm, they will be crumbly and break<\/p>\n
